Keep the ball rollin', Keep the ball rollin'.
Girl, the name of the game is love.
On your mark, get set, let the kissin' start,
and just Keep the ball rollin' baby,
right into my heart.
 
How can you ask me to try
and get by with just one little kiss.
The kissin' you do,
I need a second helping to.
When you light the fire in my heart 
and ev'ry part of me is burning for you.
 
You got to put your lips closer to mine,
girl, you got to follow it thru.
(You got to follow it thru,)
You got to follow it thru.
(You got to follow it thru.)
 
Keep the ball rollin', Keep the ball rollin'.
Girl, the name of the game is love.
On your mark, get set, let the kissin' start,
and just Keep the ball rollin' baby,
right into my heart.
 
Half of a loaf isn't better than none when I'm starvin' for you.
Don't hold me tight if ev'ry night we stop at two.
If you want me there when you call,
then girl it's all or nothing next time you do.
 
You got to put your lips closer to mine,
girl, you got to follow it thru.
(You got to follow it thru,)
You got to follow it thru.
(You got to follow it thru.)
 
Keep the ball rollin', Keep the ball rollin'.
Girl, the name of the game is love.
On your mark, get set, let the kissin' start,
and just Keep the ball rollin' baby,
